From the Gentleman's Magazine a spoof soliloquy imitates Hamlet about marriage and bachelor joys and fears. Dialogue hints at gods and sacrifice, with lines on freedom versus union, and a satirical exchange about love, desire, and restraint.
In a satirical exchange a Shetland herring and an anchovy spar over taste and rank at table. The herring credits itself with enlivening wine and sauces, while the anchovy boasts refinement of flavor and toasts. The debate turns to national pride as the anchovy calls the Briton a traitor and the herring vows to rid the land of such pretenders.
Extracts describe a Liverpool meeting resolving to nominate James Crosby as mayor and defend freemen’ s rights against autocratic control. The letter criticizes corrupt practices in elections and urges Burroughs to emulate Liverpool in choosing men of honor for public service.
